Detail

NIJ0101.06 Level III Stand-Alone SiC Ceramic & HPPE Composite Tactical Ballistic Plate – All-in-One Mobile Armor for Medium-High Threats

No extra soft armor needed—this tactical ballistic plate acts as a self-contained “mobile shield,” built to deliver reliable protection while keeping deployment fast and gear light for professionals in high-risk scenarios.

I. Key Advantages: Stand-Alone Protection at Its Core

1. NIJ0101.06 Level III Stand-Alone Defense

It meets the strict NIJ 0101.06 Level III standard for stand-alone protection—no need to pair it with a Level IIIA soft bulletproof vest. At 15 meters, it stops high-impact rifle rounds cold: 7.62×51mm M80 NATO (full-power NATO ammo), 7.62×39mm AK47 MSC (standard AK47 rounds), and 5.56×45mm M193/SS109 (common for M16/AR-15). Each plate handles 3–6 consecutive hits, making it perfect for situations where quick deployment (no layered armor) is critical.

2. Optimized Thickness for Tactical Practicality

With a thickness of 25±2mm, it has enough space to absorb bullet energy—all while staying slim enough for real-world use. The “monolithic SiC ceramic + HPPE” composite structure delivers stand-alone protection without bulky extra layers, so it fits most tactical plate carriers and won’t slow down agile movements like crawling or sprinting.

3. Balanced Weight: Protection Without the Drag

Each plate weighs 2.15±0.05kg—striking a sweet spot between tough defense and wearability. It’s slightly heavier than ICW (in-conjunction-with) plates, but it eliminates the need for a 1–2kg soft armor layer. That means your total load for full protection is comparable (or even lighter), so you won’t feel fatigued during long patrols, raids, or recon missions.

4. Ergonomic Fit & Rugged All-Weather Durability

Its multi-curve shape hugs your torso, cutting pressure by 60% compared to flat plates. Measuring 254×305±3mm (with SE Cut/Shooters Cut), it covers vital areas (heart, lungs) and slides easily into plate carriers—no restriction on underarm movement. The outer 600D Oxford fabric is treated for waterproofing and flame retardancy, so it performs steadily from -30℃ to +50℃. It fends off scratches, rain, and open flames to keep the internal ceramic and HPPE layers intact.

III. Protection Mechanism: How It Stops Bullets Alone

1. First Up: Monolithic SiC Ceramic Halts Bullets Head-On

With a hardness of HV0.5 ≥ 2600 (second only to diamond), the monolithic SiC ceramic shatters bullet jackets and cores the moment they hit. It turns high-velocity projectiles into harmless flat debris—and its seamless structure means no gaps for bullets to slip through, a must for stand-alone protection.

2. Next: Thickened HPPE Layer Absorbs All Residual Energy

The 25±2mm design includes a reinforced HPPE layer (made via gel-spinning, 15x stronger than steel by weight). This layer deforms slightly to dissipate 100% of the bullet’s remaining kinetic energy—no extra soft armor needed. All debris gets trapped inside the plate, so you avoid secondary injury.

IV. Application Scenarios: Flexible Stand-Alone Deployment

User/ScenarioCore ValueUsage Tips
SWAT Rapid Response/RaidsStand-alone design cuts gear-up time (no layered soft armor)Slip it into plate carriers for fast deployment—ideal for hostage rescues or active shooter calls
Military Recon/PatrolNo soft armor means lighter total load for long marches; stops rifle threatsPair with tactical plate carriers—works with mag pouches and communication gear
High-Risk Security (Armed Escort)Independent protection adapts to urban/highway scenariosUse single front/back plates for balanced defense and mobility
Emergency Services (Tactical EMS)Simple stand-alone design eases gear use; shields against stray rifle fireWear in low-profile plate carriers to reach victims while staying protected

V. Usage & Maintenance: Keep Stand-Alone Performance Strong

  1. Storage: Store in a dry, dark area (relative humidity ≤ 80%). Avoid direct UV exposure—this prevents HPPE aging and ceramic moisture damage.

  2. Service Life: Use for 5–8 years under normal conditions. Stop using it right away if you spot ceramic cracks (visible or via tapping test), fabric tears, or HPPE hardening.

  3. Handling: Don’t drop, crush, or roll the plate—hidden ceramic cracks can ruin its stand-alone protection. Keep it away from strong acids/alkalis to protect the outer fabric and internal layers.
